Mostellaria: An Adapted Latin Play
Afer should be caring for his master’s son, Bucco. Instead of helping to raise an honorable young man, Afer is drinking wine, eating extravagant dinners, and letting his young charge rack up a ridiculous amount of debt to purchase and free his girlfriend Flora.
Afer’s not exactly a role model of childcare, but he’s pretty happy all the same. That is, until his master Priscus returns after three years in Egypt. Afer will dole out as many outlandish tricks as it takes to preserve the life he has, to keep Bucco happy (and the wine and food coming), and to avoid Priscsus’ anger.
Who gets the last laugh in this adaptation of Plautus’ Mostellaria?
This play is suitable for use in Latin III/IV. It is 9,000 words long and contains 237 unique words. Of those words, 29 are glossed words, 18 are proper nouns, and 19 are clear cognates.
